Morning all - late night for me, after winning the pub quiz with my brother, you get to choose from 3 envelopes for your prize, and unfortunately I got the booby prize, pickled eggs. 1 mile swim for me this morning and track tonight, I don't think the temperature is changing much from day to night. Opel Manta was my 15 year old boyfriend's dream car, haven't seen one in ages. Perhaps this could be the new NW whilst we're all on the roads in the dark.

Morning all, no SOC for me today, treadmill run late last night. The snow wasn't too heavy in our bit of East Anglia but the pavements were a mess and really icy so ran a 9 miler with 5 at HM pace on my treadmill. 9 miles is hard work on a treadmill even watching the TV and I think the tempo part is tough as well at such a totally consistent pace.

Never had a Capri as a lad, always envied my mates with one. I had a Cortina though. I don't know why I didn't buy a Capri thinking about it now

worst thing about the treadmill I find is that it is really warm in the gym where I go so I just find it hard because of the heat and lack of air movement. Then there is the boredom.... but I am not risking running on this crazy ice where I live - I struggled to get from my front door to the car!

6 miles this morning -2 and foggy still the paths and roads are snow and ice free.

Adrian, Hope your knee is ok.

Martin, a belatted well done on your park run Pb ,I'm still trying to get below the 21 minute mark. one day though I should get there.

Birky, Yes a good win but need a bit more consistency and another win tonight would help. Waiting now for the postman to pop wigan at home tickets through the door not sure who is more excited me or my nephew.

Only 4 miles this morning instead of the planned 5.2, but it is -4degrees out there, paths are still snowy and icey, so I'm claiming it as a moral victory against the elements! I so wish I had a treadmill! Hmmmm, anyone know if you generally have to be a member of a gym or sports centre or can you just turn up and pay for a bit of treadmill time??

Thanks Valisgonzoznen, due to my wifes work diary and a trip to Euro Disney in a couple of weeks that will probably be my last Parkrun until mid Feb, I'm gutted, as I've been really enjoying them.

Forgot to set an alarm last night so, although I woke up on time, I couldn't bear pulling on layers of lycra to fend off the elements and the dark. I have packed my kit and will run in daylight. I am now feeling very indulgent sitting here with a large mug of tea and breakfast eaten. Oh, indulgent and warm!

Morning all, some good miles going on considering the weather. Martin I do have a treadmill and it is just worth it's weight at the moment, you need to pay a reasonable amount if you do get one otherwise it just won't survive the bashing that a guy can give it running fast miles. More gyms are adopting pay as you go so worth asking.

-8 on my car to work this morning and I have heard -10 at work overnight from the ground staff here, anxiously trying to keep a pitch warm enough for a match on Saturday, so decision easy when I felt the ice underfoot and used my treadmill for 5 miles recovery. Have a 10 miler tomorrow so will try to run that outside but in daylight, it's too far on a treadie unless really desperate. I'm quite determined to keep to my plan and not drop any runs.

Morning - a very brrrrr 6.3 miles 1 x OR, Hovis van, Warburtons van DW was a very frozen squirrel, looked like it had been stuffed. Last night was 8 x 3 minutes with 1.30minutes at 5k pace and 1.30 at faster pace, I think I need a balaclava to keep warm though. Body pump, spin and swim later. I think we've got quite a few more days of chilly to come. Happy hump day.
